Portugal decriminalized ALL drugs 10 years ago. Now has half the drug abusers.
    #15840808 - 02/21/12 12:34 AM (11 years, 11 months ago)

If you ask any Dr they will tell you that drug addiction is a disease, not a crime. Yet why do we here in America keep locking them up? Does it have anything to do with PRIVATE prisons lobbying our politicians for stricter laws? Why is it that we only have one hope for 2012 that is correct on this issue? Is he also correct on a lot of other issues the main stream media doesn't want us to know about? Do we have to do the research for our selves instead of watching television? Is that harder then watching television and spitting there blind hatred at anyone who does there homework? Yes.

Foolish. More money must be spent to prevent decisions.

decide---"to settle a dispute," from O.Fr. decider, from L. decidere "to decide, determine," lit. "to cut off," from de- "off" (see de-) + caedere "to cut" (see cement).


seems like there are only so many decisions one can make before the cuts arent even visible

The drug war is a very complex beast, but in the case of portugal and decriminalization, correlation =/= causation. Perhaps the decriminalization was the reason for lower drug abusers, but perhaps there are many other factors that played into it. However, I completely back what the their government did with decriminalization.

Yeah he should just stop thinking logically about a phenomenon because he favors decriminalization. :kingtard:
